|---|---|
| Regulatory Framework Description | A French scheme, known colloquially as the Loi Denormandie, provides tax incentives in order to help investors to renovate housing in over 220 designated urban centres in France, in return for agreeing to rent the newly renovated dwelling to a reserved group of low-income tenants. This provides shared benefits for the purchaser and the tenant, who will be able to rent a higher-quality and less-costly home at an affordable price. From the investor side, housing costs of up to a maximum of either €300,000 or €5,500 per m² are eligible for the scheme and the renovation costs must represent at least 25% of the overall total investment. For example, if the cost of acquisition and renovations was €450,000, only the first €300,000 are taken into consideration for the purposes of calculating the tax benefit. At the same time, if an investor renovates more than one property, the €300,000 ‘cap’ applies to the ‘portfolio’ as a whole, effectively eliminating the incentive to purchase multiple homes under the scheme. There are also clearly defined renovation targets. For example, the renovation works must improve the energy performance of the dwelling by at least 20% for apartments and 30% for houses, attaining a minimum energy certificate of E. In addition, only homes located in defined high-demand and regeneration areas are eligible, whilst renovations must be completed no later than the end of the second year after the original purchase. The tax reduction received by the owner is based on the length of time that you allow the property to be rented to the low-income tenant. A minimum lease is six years, giving a tax reduction equivalent to 12% of the allowable cost, while the longest possible lease is 12 years, providing a 21% tax benefit. Thus, a purchase and renovation cost of €300,000 could provide a tax benefit of up to €63,000. With regard to the rent that the owner can charge, this varies depending on a number of factors, such as the location and size of the dwelling, but in any case is below the equivalent average market rent. The rent is revised on an annual basis, based on changes in core inflation. From the tenant’s perspective, they benefit from a stable rent, which is better adapted to their means than the private rental market. Eligibility for the scheme is based primarily on the income of the applicant household. This can vary quite a lot, depending on the location of the dwelling and the number and age of the members of the household. A single person living in a high-priced rental area could have an income of a little over €38,000, for instance. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Why?
We have fund our selves at a crossroads. Buildings energy efficiency is not moving fast enough to meet the Paris Agreement goals. Innovative financial instruments, business models and regulatory frameworks are urgently needed.
We can continue in this direction. Or we can explore a new way forward. The encyclopenergy aims to do just that in a bid to streamline and optimise the way the built environment community shares knowledge.
The enclyponergy aims at creating a comprehensive compendium to support the spread and scale of innovation in financing solutions, business models, and regulatory frameworks to accelerate the transition to a less carbon-intensive built environment.
Who?
The project ‘Climate Positive Circular Communities’, short name ARV, is funded by the European Green Deal initiative as an Innovation Action within the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme. The enclycopenergy is a flower germinating from the ARV in order to map the world state of art when it comes to energy efficiency financing, business models and regulatory frameworks. The Green Digital Finance Alliance as an ARV Consortium partner is in the lead of such an effort.
What?
The Encyclopenergy is a crowd-open-sourced encyclopedia of energy efficiency enablers. It is a crowdsourced global catalogue of financing tools, business models, and regulatory frameworks enabling, empowering, and scaling energy efficient solutions for the built environment. It also offers intelligence to list demonstrations and organization working in the field with the hope this will be a boomerang to boost the renovation wave.
Where?
Everywhere. Ubiquitus. Onlline. And in your pocket. The encyclopenergy wants to be a practical tool available to all at all time. You can surf it, download it and populate it from anywhere.
When?
The encyclopenergy is still in its infancy. It was kickstarted on March 1st 2022. Help this living knowledge hub to grow, refine and ameliorate so that it can graduate into a useful tool for a climate positive built environment.
